Synopsis

The region of Bahristan is ruled by a kind and fair-minded Sultan, who lives there with his wife, Malika. There is considerable jubilation in the region when a son is born to Sultan, followed by several days of merry-making and celebration. But this does not last long, Vazir-e-alla decides to usurp the crown for himself, after abducting and imprisoning Amir Khan, a magician. The Sultan and his family manage to escape on a boat, but Vazir catches up to them, ensures that the family has drowned and returns triumphantly to Bahristan to continue with his worship of a steel demon he calls "Shaitan". All he needs is a sword which when struck through it's chest, will give it life. Vazir also gets an added boon - a beaded necklace that gives him immortality. Quite unknown to the Vazir, the Sultan has survived, albeit without any memory; Malika is also alive, though blind; also alive is the young Shehzada - who is now known as Ajooba - a wonder-man with supernatural powers to do good, and lives as an ordinary man named Ali. But even Ajooba, together with his friend, Hassan, are no match for an evil immortal Vazir, who has now succeeded in bringing the Shaitan to life, thus ensuring his rule over Bahristan forever.
